Description SET07 is a protein-lysine N-methyltransferase that monomethylates both histones and non-histone proteins. Specifically monomethylates 'Lys-20' of histone H4 (H4K20me1). H4K20me1 is enriched during mitosis and represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression. Mainly functions in euchromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the silencing of euchromatic genes. Required for cell proliferation, probably by contributing to the maintenance of proper higher-order structure of DNA during mitosis. Involved in chromosome condensation and proper cytokinesis. Nucleosomes are preferred as substrate compared to free histones. Mediates monomethylation of p53/TP53 at 'Lys-382', leading to repress p53/TP53-target genes. Plays a negative role in TGF-beta response regulation and a positive role in cell migration. [UniProt] Application Notes Titration of the SET07 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity. Immunogen This SET07 antibody was raised using purified recombinant GST fusion protein encoding the N-terminal region of human SET07. Storage Aliquot the SET07 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

Although CRL4Cdt2 was reported to regulate Set8 stability, deleting the PIP motif only led to partial resistance to ultraviolet- induced degradation of Set8, indicating the existence of additional E3 ligase(s) controlling Set8 stability. Furthermore, it remains largely undeﬁned how DNA damage-induced kinase cascades trigger the timely destruction of Set8 to govern tumorigenesis.

Novel Pharmacological Maps of Protein Lysine Methyltransferases: Key for Target Deorphanization Obdulia Rabal* , Andrea Castellar and Julen Oyarzabal*
Rabal et al. J Cheminform (2018) 10:32 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13321-018-0288-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Novel pharmacological maps of protein lysine methyltransferases: key for target deorphanization Obdulia Rabal* , Andrea Castellar and Julen Oyarzabal* Abstract Epigenetic therapies are being investigated for the treatment of cancer, cognitive disorders, metabolic alterations and autoinmune diseases. Among the diferent epigenetic target families, protein lysine methyltransferases (PKMTs), are especially interesting because it is believed that their inhibition may be highly specifc at the functional level. Despite its relevance, there are currently known inhibitors against only 10 out of the 50 SET-domain containing members of the PKMT family. Accordingly, the identifcation of chemical probes for the validation of the therapeutic impact of epigenetic modulation is key. Moreover, little is known about the mechanisms that dictate their substrate specifc- ity and ligand selectivity. Consequently, it is desirable to explore novel methods to characterize the pharmacologi- cal similarity of PKMTs, going beyond classical phylogenetic relationships. Such characterization would enable the prediction of ligand of-target efects caused by lack of ligand selectivity and the repurposing of known compounds against alternative targets. This is particularly relevant in the case of orphan targets with unreported inhibitors. Here, we frst perform a systematic study of binding modes of cofactor and substrate bound ligands with all available SET domain-containing PKMTs. Protein ligand interaction fngerprints were applied to identify conserved hot spots and contact-specifc residues across subfamilies at each binding site; a relevant analysis for guiding the design of novel, selective compounds. Then, a recently described methodology (GPCR-CoINPocket) that incorporates ligand contact information into classical alignment-based comparisons was applied to the entire family of 50 SET-containing proteins to devise pharmacological similarities between them.

Regulation and Function of H4K20me2 in DNA Repair Abstract Chromatin is a highly compact structure that must be rapidly rearranged in order for DNA repair proteins to access sites of damage and facilitate timely and efficient repair. Chromatin plasticity is achieved through multiple processes, including the post- translational modification of histone tails. In recent years, the impact of histone post- translational modification on the DNA damage response has become increasingly well recognized, and chromatin plasticity has been firmly linked to efficient DNA repair.

Histone 4 Lysine 20 Methylation: a Case for Neurodevelopmental Disease
biology Review Histone 4 Lysine 20 Methylation: A Case for Neurodevelopmental Disease Rochelle N. Wickramasekara and Holly A. F. Stessman * Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, Creighton University, Omaha, NE 68178, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-402-280-2255 Received: 28 December 2018; Accepted: 26 February 2019; Published: 3 March 2019 Abstract: Neurogenesis is an elegantly coordinated developmental process that must maintain a careful balance of proliferation and differentiation programs to be compatible with life. Due to the fine-tuning required for these processes, epigenetic mechanisms (e.g., DNA methylation and histone modifications) are employed, in addition to changes in mRNA transcription, to regulate gene expression. The purpose of this review is to highlight what we currently know about histone 4 lysine 20 (H4K20) methylation and its role in the developing brain. Utilizing publicly-available RNA-Sequencing data and published literature, we highlight the versatility of H4K20 methyl modifications in mediating diverse cellular events from gene silencing/chromatin compaction to DNA double-stranded break repair. From large-scale human DNA sequencing studies, we further propose that the lysine methyltransferase gene, KMT5B (OMIM: 610881), may fit into a category of epigenetic modifier genes that are critical for typical neurodevelopment, such as EHMT1 and ARID1B, which are associated with Kleefstra syndrome (OMIM: 610253) and Coffin-Siris syndrome (OMIM: 135900), respectively. Based on our current knowledge of the H4K20 methyl modification, we discuss emerging themes and interesting questions on how this histone modification, and particularly KMT5B expression, might impact neurodevelopment along with current challenges and potential avenues for future research.

Based on E3 ligases evidence from knockout and transgenic mouse models, human clinical data, and biochemical interactions, we PROTACs summarize the distinct roles of the CRL4 E3 ligase complexes in tumorigenesis, which appears to be tissue- and Tumorigenesis context-dependent. Notably, targeting CRL4 has recently emerged as a noval anti-cancer strategy, including Targeted therapy thalidomide and its derivatives that bind to the substrate recognition receptor cereblon (CRBN), and anticancer sulfonamides that target DCAF15 to suppress the neoplastic proliferation of multiple myeloma and colorectal cancers, respectively. To this end, PROTACs have been developed as a group of engineered bi-functional che- mical glues that induce the ubiquitination-mediated degradation of substrates via recruiting E3 ligases, such as CRL4 (CRBN) and CRL2 (pVHL).

Unlike most of AID/APOBEC, however, APOBEC2’s function remains elusive. Previous research has implicated APOBEC2 in diverse organisms and cellular processes such as muscle biology (in Mus musculus), regeneration (in Danio rerio), and development (in Xenopus laevis). APOBEC2 has also been implicated in cancer. However the enzymatic activity, substrate or physiological target(s) of APOBEC2 are unknown. For this thesis, I have combined Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques with state-of-the-art molecular biology to determine the physiological targets of APOBEC2. Using a cell culture muscle differentiation system, and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) by polyA capture, I demonstrated that unlike the AID/APOBEC family member APOBEC1, APOBEC2 is not an RNA editor. Using the same system combined with enhanced Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (eRRBS) analyses I showed that, unlike the AID/APOBEC family member AID, APOBEC2 does not act as a 5-methyl-C deaminase.

SET8 (PR-Set7, SETD8, KMT5A)
SET8 (PR-Set7, SETD8, KMT5A) CATALOG NO.: HMT-11-118 LOT NO.: DESCRIPTION: Human recombinant SET8 (residues 190-352; Genbank Accession # NM_020382; MW = 21.8 kDa) expressed in E. coli with an N-terminal His-tag. Catalyzes the transfer of methyl groups from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to the ε-amino function of protein L-lysine residues, specifically the monomethylation of lysine-20 of histone H4 (H4K20me1)1-3 and of lysine-382 of p53 (p53K382me1)4. SET8 and H4K20me1 are essential to chromosome condensation, entry into mitosis and maintenance of genomic stability5 and are implicated in the licensing of replication origins6. Monomethylation of H4K20 and cellular SET8 levels oscillate with the cell cycle, peaking at the G2/M transition, declining late in mitosis, with SET8 protein becoming nearly undetectable in S phase (see reviews7-9). Apart from its role in cell cycle progression, there is evidence SET8 can regulate transcription of specific genes by H4K20 monomethylation in promoter elements10 or gene bodies11 and by methylation of a transcription factor, p534,12. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that SET8 may be a promising target for anti-cancer therapy. These include the requirement for SET8 in cell cycle progression5,6, SET8’s activation of Wnt target genes10, its negative regulation of the p53 tumor suppressor4,12, the association of increased SET8 levels with breast cancer metastasis13 and the association of decreased levels with longer survival in hepatocellular carcinoma patients14. PURITY: >90% by SDS-PAGE. ASSAY CONDITIONS: RBC’s SET8 displays histone methyltransferase activity at enzyme concentrations of 15.6 nM and above, with HeLa Nucleosomes (Cat.
